I'm new to chatboards so I'm not sure of exactly how this works. I am posting the assignment as well as my e-mail address below. Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!!! email: clover32266@gmail.com Use at least 1 practicum hour to interview a school psychologist and/or school employee who are involved in the process of identifying children with special needs. Include the following: 1. What is the identification process for birth to preschool and kindergarten to third grade? 2. What are the assessments used for identification? 3. What is the family involvement and role in the process? 4. What resources are available to families? 5. What instructional and assistive technology is used? 6. What is the student placement model for the school/district? 7. What is the teacher’s involvement and role in the process in #6? 8. What is the role classroom assessments play in the identification process? 9. Additional relevant information.
When I first certified ten years ago, a wonderful NB > teacher named Joanne helped me on some chatboard (maybe > this one!) and was wonderful! She read my drafts and made > such a difference. It is of course more challenging for > me now that I am not teaching, but I am borrowing a > classroom from the same district where I taught for the > last seven years of my career. Thanks for any help you > all can offer!
